Re: Need to transfer a million dollars to australia

With $1M+ I'd be looking to get very fine/interbank rates. Am not sure if Ozforex can offer such fine rates. PM me if you want details of a good brokerage house.

Re: What are you spending your free money on?

Wherever did you get earning bugger all from:confused:

If your family income is say $137,000 p.a. and you have two school/college going kids then you get paid the base rate for Part A.

Re: Need to transfer a million dollars to australia

Open an account with a reputable online broker in the US. I know one that offers free transfers AND gives you interbank rates.

Re: What are you spending your free money on?

The family tax benefit A stops only if you family income is over $138,773 (for families with 2 kids). Are you saying a majority of families with kids earn more than this and hence ineligible?

Re: What are you spending your free money on?

A majority of families with school going kids will probably get this money as not many have incomes over $150,000 p.a.
